2012 Caprice PPV Coilovers

Post by BirdOnNos » Fri Mar 31, 2023 10:23 pm

New to the forum, i have a 2012 Caprice PPV and was wondering what coilovers work on these cars. Will the G8 coilovers work without modification?

yes the G8 parts , most rear coilovers will require some modification to the area above the shock to clear the adjuster

And the metal back there is structural, and VERY hard!! You'll want some good drill bits, and probably good, fresh die-grinder bits to make those holes. You'll be drilling them after you pull the old ones out of the way. But yes, G8 coilers FTW!!
